TextractorCLI & XUAT Integration

These are third-party integration features:

• TextractorCLI is a text hooker that extracts in-game text and sends it to VNTranslator for translation. The translated text is shown in the Extra Window

• XUAT (XUnity.AutoTranslator) is used to translate Unity-based games in real-time. Text extracted by XUAT is sent to VNTranslator, translated, and then returned to XUAT to be displayed directly in the game.
